Things fall apart
where rivals play-act a war
and we all give the given talk
where they know things
from the king’s own mouth
I trust an atheistic drunk
to account for hope
Angry poems
Angry poems — a collection of the best works on Poemship.
Self-actualization
like news of peace
the land so promising in spring
is sick and wounded with oil
getting money
we hope to get thin
go home hungry to be
Arms dealer
I lose count of all
the late-night finds
a ladder to the heart
a good red tune
a plot to make war appear
greater than money
Monument
touching the head of the king
for this
they wounded a stone
Fulmination
the received spit
of news in the mouth
War Moon
Life preserver
who is carrying us to war
to ward off news
I have stopped up ears
as the first act of hostility
the land is sunk
only the captain found a finite bed
Lexicology
the first word was oh
then presently you
is now any better
with my mind full
and vexed
angry words go out
in a dead mouth
Red-lined
a red line
cost me my home
with all the evening music
great as a prayer
Harvester
an absence of red in the war
is a white lie
thin as corn
the bodies of the poor
Dictator
not good about letting others speak
I am sorry for the ice in my head
and heart full of decay
I am sorry for this gun
which makes the hole of power
Child workers
children employed
to supply our flags
dull eyes like organ keys
pressed down
that could not be fixed
to whistle
but otherwise quiet
and will do as bid
the river is a letter
from an unknown hand
Shipping news
all the news now
should go in the same ship with
our knavery and dissimulation
no great fleet
ships like unkissed bodies
nest together at night
take time to rust
